The attached ordinance amends Section 16-96 of the Greensboro Code of Ordinances by changing Schedule 2A (Speed Limits on State Highway System Streets). Each of the changes are related to Air Harbor Road which is a state maintained road and are outlined below:
- Repeal 45 mph municipal speed limit on SR 2334 (Air Harbor Road) from SR 2347 (Lake Brandt Road) eastward to Greensboro Corporate Limits, a point 0.09 miles west of SR 2348 (Bass Chapel Road). This section of Air Harbor would revert to the municipal statutory speed limit, 35 mph.

All changes would become effective upon the adoption of a concurring ordinance by the North Carolina Board of Transportation and posting of signs giving notice of the authorized speed limits.
